Check if you qualify

This degree programme introduces you to the academic and practical study of music. Offered at Wisconsin International University College through the School of Communication, it is a less competitive route into tertiary music education in Ghana.

What a music degree covers

A music degree typically blends practical performance with academic study. You can expect to cover music theory, history, harmony, ear training, and composition, alongside opportunities to perform individually or in ensembles. Some programmes also introduce music technology, recording, and the business of music. The balance depends on the institution, but the goal is to develop both your understanding and your craft.

Skills you build and where they lead

Studying music builds more than musical ability. You develop discipline from regular practice, critical listening, teamwork through ensemble work, and the confidence to present in public. You also learn to analyse structure and meaning in sound, which strengthens your ability to think systematically and creatively. Graduates go into teaching, performance, composition, sound production, and arts administration. Some continue to postgraduate study in music or related fields.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than to the same programme at the University of Ghana or the University of Cape Coast. If your WASSCE results meet the stated requirements, you have a realistic chance. Always confirm your specific grades with the admissions office.
